It kicked off during the second half of the game when stewards attempted to remove a fan from the upper tier of the South Africa Road stand at the match last Monday.

Chief Superintendent Colin Morgan from Specialist Crime and Operations Public Order Branch said: "This incident started with some pushing and shoving at the top of the stand.

"It quickly turned nasty as a large group of supporters and stewards fell and were forced backwards down the steep stairway that separates the stands.

"It was made worse by some supporters who then chose to punch, push and kick at the stewards. It was pure luck that no one was badly hurt. We will deal robustly with those responsible for disorder, whether inside or outside football venues, and we will bring them to court."

Anyone who is able to identify any of the men pictured is asked to contact officers from Operation Arrowtip on 020 8246 0076 between 08.00 and 16.00hrs.
